Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Lady Playing Flute by Li Quanwu was auctioned at Christies in Hong Kong in December 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of HKD 120,000.00 – 150,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for HKD 93,750.00 (€ 8,688.66). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Li Quanwu - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Triptych, which sold at auction in October 2002 for HKD 191,200.00 (€ 24,807.04).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Lady Playing Flute von Li Quanwu im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von HKD 120.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für HKD 93.750,00 (€ 8.688,66) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Li Quanwu mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Triptych beobachtet, die im Oktober 2002 für HKD 191.200,00 (€ 24.807,04) versteigert wurde.
